Tap a word to mark it throughout the chapter; a morphology code explains itself the same way (in English).
- 1My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.
- 2Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.
- 3Give now a pledge, be surety for me with Thyself; who else is there that will strike hands with me?
- 4For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.
- 5He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
- 6He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become one in whose face they spit.
- 7Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, and all my members are as a shadow.
- וַתֵּ֣כַהּ
- מִכַּ֣עַשׂ
- עֵינִ֑י
- וִֽיצֻרַ֖י
- כַּצֵּ֣ל
- כֻּלָּֽם׃
- 8Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.
- 9Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, and he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.
- 10But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; and I shall not find a wise man among you.
- 11My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
- 12They change the night into day; the light is short because of darkness.
- 13If I look for the nether-world as my house; if I have spread my couch in the darkness;
- 14If I have said to corruption: 'Thou art my father', to the worm: 'Thou art my mother, and my sister';
- 15Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?
- 16They shall go down to the bars of the nether-world, when we are at rest together in the dust.
